Shop Time w/T.W. Friends.

This week was a complete fustercluck. Definitely 4 Mondays (4/10s), and they've got guys in working today. I'd be there, but I've got contractors at the house and waiting on FedEx to show up with the packages that I have to sign for.

 

Customer wanted this gripper cut down. It goes on a multi million dollar printing press from England, it gets epoxied on instead of bolted.

 

Conspiracy; some company bought the patent to this chamfer tool, because it was far superior to anything else out there. Now you can't buy them. Speculation of course.
Name on it is NOBUR

 

What is the SHCS for?

 

Looks more or less like a run-of-the-mill 60* countersink; renewable cutting inserts?

 

No SHCS on there, but a NS 4-100°
I'm uncertain about the best way to sharpen them, no inserts on these particular ones although we have a few of those too.
I'll have to take one apart and examine it some day. I kind of believe they were made in 2 pieces for sharpening purposes.

 

Ohduh....sorry creedI thought you meant possible seeing SHCS on the description or something

 

Looks like Cogsdill still makes the NOBUR line.

 

They look like the one pictured? I searched quite awhile back and didn't see anything. I'll write that name down.
Thanks!

 

Ok, not like the one pictured. But I know M.A. Ford and OSG make straight flute chamfer bits.

 

2nd eyeball de-cataract-ed today. I can see sooo much better now!

 

FedEx delivery done. They almost drove past without stopping because I'd left the door tag on the door yesterday. They hadn't left one any other day this week that they've stopped by, so I didn't even look when I got home yesterday.

 

Yes, today is my 5th Monday in a row...and it so happens to be the most Monday-ist of Mondays.

 

Bummer...

 

Yep, missing wire (how do you "lose" a 4300' spool of 16/2PR TC-ER) for a project that starts Monday. On top of people deciding to wait til the last min to order parts for projects starting Monday when they've had the material list ready for at least 3 days.

 

All right fellers, here is the estate sale score of the month. US made Reelcraft industrial retractable cord reel with 50' of #12 cable and GFI end.
Thing weights 42 pounds and is like new except the broken fitting, I can replace that.
Had to pull it off a garage ceiling, good thing there was a sturdy ladder handy.



And more in line with the junk I usually haul home, this one is US made too, not quite so glamorous.

 

Nice! Those Reelcraft's are not cheap!

 

Good score!

 

I'm having trouble just trying to look one up! Tin Foil Hats, ASSEMBLE!
